Some update summary on missing US soldiers in Lithuania:
Missing vehicle (recovery vehicle M88A2) is located in place where marsh meets lake, 5 meters (16 feet) beyond surface. (1/3)
On the 4 US soldiers missing in a military exercise in Lithuania, the search is ongoing. We regret any confusion about remarks @SecGenNATO delivered on this today. He was referring to emerging news reports & was not confirming the fate of the missing, which is still unknown
@nexta_tv So far (20 UTC, Wednesday) no confirmations of deaths, just about found vehicle and rescue operation which still continues.

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.
Enough talking, it’s time to act! 1. Let’s finance our aid for Ukraine from the Russian frozen assets. 2. Let’s strengthen air policing, the Baltic sentry and the EU borders with Russia. 3. Let’s swiftly adopt new fiscal rules to finance the EU security and defence. Now!
Europe should become ready for the most extreme military contingencies without delay.
To achieve that, we need to think in terms of a systemic overhaul of European defence.
We cannot rely on incremental steps anymore; we need a Big Bang.

@siestaV O kokia prasmė klausyt muzikos lauke, kur arba triukšmai, arba jei uždaros ausinės/maksimalus noise canceling, tave gali nutrėkšt durnas paspirdukininkas ar koks BMW?
Ausinėse lauke - nebent podcastai.
🤦♂️ Please stop. No more “thoughts and prayers”. Constantly saying that we stand with Ukraine while actually only standing there is ruining all of the good will and trust we‘d earned in the early days.
🇱🇹 28 years ago, first lieutenant Normundas Valteris (right) tragically lost his life in a peacekeeping mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina after his vehicle hit an anti-tank mine. He bravely gave his life for peace in Europe. We will always remember and cherish his sacrifice.
Yesterday I got a question from a foreigner, what's new in Lithuania. Well, nothing too much. Same zeppelin colored sky, same support for Ukraine. Just yesterday € 8 288 360 were gathered by common Lithuanian people and businesses, for modern equipment for Ukrainian soldiers.
Our 🇫🇮 Finnish snipers are hiding out, how many can you spot?
Our final and hardest camouflage challenge... we'll be honest, this one requires some guess work

@arbusis Iš kur toks juodaodžių ir rusų kalbos supriešinimas? Vilniuje Bolte turėjau jau du atvejus, kai juodaodžiai vairuotojai bandė susišnekėti būtent rusiškai, nes daugiau jokių kitų populiarių kalbų nemokėjo.
